1) avoid dselect.  its interface sucks ImHO
2) use dpkg if the file is downloaded already.  as in
  dpkg -i opera-9.x.x-y
3) use apt-cache and apt-get as much as possible--although in this case
I don't see opera when I search for it so it probably wont' help.  But
I'm using Kubuntu 6.06 and don't have backports enabled.
4) install synaptic.  if you are using icewm then you probably have
installed some gtk based configuration applets like icepref and iceme.
if gtk libs are already installed then istalling synaptic shouldn't pull
in too many more libs.
